杨慎古音学源流考辨

The Origin and Development of Yang Shen's Archaic Chinese Phonology

吴棫《韵补》大体上是为"古音"而作,不过没有形成明确的"古音"概念。《韵补》综合运用押韵、谐声、异文、古读等方法考订古音,这也是他的开创,并被后来的古音学家所继承。杨慎古韵学出自吴棫,他的功绩在于,明确提出了"古音"概念,注意到了古今音变的复杂性,改进了考订古音的方法。陈第古音学在杨慎的基础上做出了更大的突破:完全抛弃了"叶音说",注重阐明古今语音演变之轨迹,采用穷举法等。至此,明代学术,在古音学方面,完成了同清代朴学的对接。

Yang Shen＇s Archaic Chinese phonology proceeded Wu Yu＇s idea. His contribution was that he clearly raised the concept of Gu Yin, noticed the complexity of ancient and modem changes of Archaic Chinese rhyme and improved the researching methods. On the basis of Yang Shen, Chen Di＇s Archaic Chinese phonology made a bigger breakthrough, he thoroughly denied the theory of Xie Yin, and paid attention to clarifying the various track of archaic sound, and so on. In a word, on the field of Archaic Chinese phonology, Chen Di successfully led to the Pu Xue of Qing Dynasty.
